What to expect or not to expect (this one is more important) in Iphone 5S.

Apple's premier show where most of its latest gadgets are unveiled , WWDC is just a few days away where Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook may show the world how the next gen Iphone i.e Iphone 5S (looking behind we can deduce it will be 5S not 6) may look like but don't keep your hopes high as there are rumours that Apple might push the showcasing of Iphone 5S still further.It can also be said that this time WWDC may be used as a platform to unviel the new Mac book pro,OS X and IOS 7.

Coming to what to expect if they do decide to showcase Iphone 5S:

• First of all there might be two phone 5S targeted at higher end customers and a cheaper Iphone ( around INR 20k).
• Iphone 5S may have a fingerprint scanner going with apple acquiring a company who specializes in it.
• The screen will be bigger than current model but only in higher end 5S.
• IOS 7 will be a breakaway from previous versions as it will be completely rehauled.
• 13 Megapixel snapper will be a go.
• Can expect NFC as this is becoming a standard option in all the flagship models.
• Maps will be overhauled completely.
• Quad core chip can be expected with 2 gigs of Ram.
• Updated Siri with even more commands.

What not to expect from the new Iphone:

• Forget it having a transparent see through screen, this technology has not been perfected yet.
• Projector might be a no no.
• And no it will not make coffee.
• It won't be as slim as a piece of glass. 

And for all of you sharing pictures on facebook saying next Iphone will look like this and have this feature, it would be soothing to know that Apple employs ex-military and ex-CIA officials to safeguard its products and development so it's a far shot that anything might seep out.

Processing power and Smartphones...How much is really enough?

This was in my mind for quite a long time, watching people go crazy over processing power of the phones and they go to an extent where they decide which phone to buy usually based on this, I might add that the processing power plays a vital role in how a smartphone works for example smoothness of the UI, games, multitasking etc but its a game of cat and mouse with more power comes greater chance of your battery getting drained and that is the exact reason why most of the android phones discharge so quickly. I mean how good a phone is with 2 Ghz processor and tens of cores if it switches off before you finish your day?

For a case in study let us consider Apple Iphone 5(Obviously) which has 1.2 Ghz dual core processor with 1440 mAh battery and Samsung galaxy S3 with its 1.4Ghz quad core processor with 2100 mAh battery both the phones last 50 hours in the endurance test(as done by gsmarena) and have comparable graphics reproduction and screen.

Moral of the story, it doesn't matter how fast the cpu is but how well the hardware and software has been synchronised. So next time you buy a phone keep a thought that processor is just a another piece of the puzzle and not the whole picture.

Comparison between the two phones mentioned above:
